Scalability is one of the things we absolutely love about StarWind. We have scaled from two servers providing 20 TB to 24 servers providing 2 PB.

So far, we've been able to add storage and new servers year after year and have never run into an issue.  

Scalability met our needs; however, it would not perform as well if you added more nodes, as you're increasing your replication delta.

The solution is scalable. It is very easy to add more virtual disks.

The scalability seems solid. You could add nodes if needed.

The solution is scalable. The version I have has unlimited storage, so as long as I have the space in my servers to add storage, then the solution will support it.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to test the scalability aspect.

You can start with just two nodes and scale from there. It's very helpful.

The solution is hardware agnostic. Storage can be added if licensing is increased. It offers above-average scalability. 

Seems that 2 node to 3 node is relatively easy. And 3 nodes or less and you don't need a 10G switch for your fabric. Gives you some options. Beyond that I'm not real sure.

One of the main reasons we bought StarWind was the scalability of the storage. We plan the storage in our Hyperconverged Infrastructure through the addition of storage arrays. Since we have bought the unlimited storage package from StarWind, we are confident that this task will not be an issue.

It seems to work fine on our two host systems. It seems like it would easily be able to expand to a larger system. 

StarWind vSAN can easily scale by adding more servers to the cluster. This makes it extremely suitable for growing organizations like ours.

It scales very easily.

Depending on your setup, their actual SAN might be a better fit for you, however, that's for your very specific case to decide.

You can scale as much as your company will need.

I'd rate scalability eight out of ten.

The scalability has been great.

The product is all about scalability. I have no concerns about future company growth and this solution.

I hear it scales well, however, we've not used it beyond our own small scale.

Currently, we have a small setup, and in the near future, if we need to scale our setup, StarWind Virtual SAN will help us accordingly.

It is easy to expand the storage space. The only limitation is the space that the license allows you to use in the HA configuration.

This is a scalable solution, as it is simple to add another vSAN.

StarWind Virtual SAN's performance is impressive and offers scalability as one of its main advantages. The solution is designed to grow with your IT infrastructure needs. This means that as your organization expands and requires more storage resources, you can add additional nodes to your StarWind cluster to accommodate this growth.

The scalability is great. We were able to scale our systems effortlessly.

It's a great option for SMBs. If you start getting into double or triple-digit host count, the increased configuration time may not be worth it.

It offers great performance and has the ability to add additional nodes to your cluster.

The compute part of it should be more easily scalable.  

We don't intend to scale beyond two servers, however, we like that it's possible.

We only use a two-node cluster. I have not tested the software outside of this configuration, however, if you're building a much bigger cluster, you'd probably be better off investing in an external, dedicated storage solution such as a SAN. 

The scalability of StarWind Virtual SAN is one of its standout features that really impressed me. It's been a game-changer for our storage needs, allowing us to grow our infrastructure seamlessly as our business expands. The way it handles scaling is just so smooth and efficient.

I get the impression that this is better geared towards a smaller scale, for example, ad two or four-node cluster. Anything bigger, and it would make more sense to go with the big-name competitor. 

We can easily add nodes. It is scalable. 

We were able to have the same resiliency with two nodes as we did with three nodes under Nutanix. It also managed to outperform Nutanix by a fair amount.

We will be adding a new node next year, and it seems highly scalable.

The solution appears to be easily scalable and adjustable to fit future needs.

The free version is limited, so it is not so scalable. If you need more scalability, you have different license options from the paid versions and the cost is totally worth it.

The scalability for us is perfect. The solution allows us to work elastically, responding to changes in the requirements of our infrastructure according to demand. In addition, it scales easily and quickly.

The scalability is relatively easy to manage on StarWind. When having real hardware, it's a bit complex to scale, yet way easier with StarWind than with other options.  

StarWind vSAN is highly scalable and easy to configure.

Currently, we have this running on two nodes, however, I believe it can be scaled up significantly. For our limited purposes, I have no concern about scalability.

They are very good and the product is scalable. It is excellent that it adapts to the needs of each company.

With the way we are set up, we only need two storage nodes that we are licensed for, and we can expand the storage on those nodes and add it to our cluster storage with no additional cost. Compute nodes don't need to be licensed, so we can have as many as we'd like and attach them to our cluster storage.

The solution is very scalable. You can add nodes to increase computer and storage. You only need to add storage networking once you exceed three nodes.

The solution is not too scalable to geo-site redundancy. This could be a future feature.

It is scalable.

The scalability is great. It integrates with all hypervisors, and disks can easily be added.

This solution has the ability to scale into very large systems. However, it really shines in the small to mid-size range.

It appears to scale horizontally well, as you're able to keep data locality present and it will allow you to pick which data is replicated or not. 

Our needs are simple. Therefore, we only have ever used or needed two hosts. That said, it is nice to know that it can scale to clusters if we ever need to go that route, as unlikely as that seems right now. 

Scaling to the size of the storage, thanks to the creation of a new target, does not affect the performance of the system as a whole.

Scaling by including new nodes-requires timing for synchronization.

Pretty good impressions, especially the support.

The software can be upgraded with each release, so it's very scalable. 

It has good scalability. You can add in almost anything that you want. The only oddball thing is with the three-tiered licensing. If you are looking to do anything highly scalable, such as replace your SAN, which is what we are doing now, you might as well go straight for the enterprise version. Just save yourself the headache of anything else. However, if you have a small project, and only need a couple VMs on some high speed stuff, you can use the free version or standard version. The standard version has the support, which if you are in corporate IT, it would be foolish not to get it.

The solution is highly scalable.

StarWind Virtual SAN is very scalable, simply by adding additional Windows servers and installing the StarWind Virtual SAN software on it.

In case we should decide to add other nodes, I think that this solution will scale easily.

The scalability is great, so proper sizing makes entering into the solution easy and without waste. We should not exceed the scalability options available.

It's scalable.

Since the solution is built for small and medium businesses, its scalability is intentionally limited.

The scalability is great.

It should be easy to add a host to a cluster once VSAN is installed.

I have scaled quite large. It scales well.

Seems very scalable, although we chose to have a two-node cluster.

Scalability has been very easy, so far. We have had to resize some of the drives. The most complex thing which we have had to deal with was that one of the servers needed more than two terabytes of space, and it was an MBR formatted drive. I found some tools that allowed me to convert from MBR to GPT without having to reformat the drive or lose data. Then, we were able to expand that, too. Those are normal Windows management tasks, but we were able to do them within the StarWind environment without having to use anything besides one third-party tool for the GPT conversion. That part of the scalability has been excellent because we can just allocate disk space wherever we need it. 

Overall, we have about 200 users. For simultaneous users, who are on all the time during business hours, it is probably closer to 60 or 70.

So far, scalability is excellent for the paid version. 

Beyond a three-node direct-attach, some of the cost advantages decrease a little.

The storage is as salable as your underlying storage. If you are using hardware RAID cards, then you are somewhat limited for expansion, etc. It is still much better than proprietary SANs. 

This solution seems highly scalable, with the only limitations being management after a certain point.

The current non-managed solution is limited to 3 nodes.

The software can be pretty scalable; however, after reaching more and more nodes, one may look at StarWind's hyperconverged appliance instead of going through the hassle of administrating separate systems.

During the solution validation session with the vendor, we spoke about benchmarking the product. After performing the recommended tests, we were satisfied that the solution would meet our performance needs (both in terms of storage and networking).

It would be apparent that the solution will scale quite well. However, our actual capacity requirements for the implementation we performed are very small. As such we are unlikely to require future scalability.

The scalability of StarWind Virtual SAN is very good.

The product is very scalable as you can add as many nodes as you require along with additional hardware.

With the right licensing, I do not see any issue with scalability.

The solution is really scalable. They have various models. We told them the maximum data that we have and found the right one for us. We can grow, as it expands. It is not a one size fits all.

We have 41 people who can access data which resides on the VSAN.

The solution is very scalable. Right now, we have over 16TB of disks. 

This product is scalable. The number of virtual disks is unlimited, but each disk size is limited to 4TB with my license.

I didn't have that task.

Scalability is great. Just add disks to nodes to create new targets or expand existing ones.

We didn't test targets with multiple devices.

This product is ideal for an SMB.

Very easy to scale. I am not aware of any limitations.

We are very happy with scaling, especially regarding licensing.

The scalability of this solution is impressive. We're very happy to use it.

The scalability is there. We just have a two-node, so everything is connected together, not through a switch. I'm assuming that with the help of StarWind the scalability would be limitless.

We don't have any immediate plans to expand. If we did need to, it would be more of a compute expansion, so we would use the existing storage and use additional compute clusters.

The scalability is excellent.

It handles our environment very well and I don't see any reason why it wouldn't handle a much larger environment.

Scalability is great and easy. You need more space to deploy another node, which gives you more fast storage. Redundancy will also improve.

Scaling this solution is easy and simple.

It's OK.

This software has done everything I need. It saved me a lot of time when I was given an extremely short time to add additional space to my Virtual Environment.

You can resize things on the fly as needed, add more storage as needed. Since it's all on Windows, you can expand the disk as much as needed and as quickly as possible.

The performance provided by the solution is good for SMBs and specific departmental solutions.

Performance is uncompromised by the minimalistic hardware footprint, as well as the reduced deployment and management costs. StarWind VSAN brings to the table server-side flash and memory caches, log-structuring, and an absolutely minimalistic I/O path. The resulting performance is unmatched by either typical virtual appliances or physical shared storage.

The drives have been resized. This caused the loss of data and we noticed that you need a third-party vehicle. StarWind Training could do this. Scalability was very good in this respect.

Very positive. As far as I understand, it will be very easy to scale.

Scalability is great.

Scalability is excellent.

The scalability of this solution is great!

This solution can be expanded to a large environment when needed.

No, we can add additional nodes and hard drives at will without downtime. This is the beauty of virtualizing the storage.

The scalability is very good.

As far as scalability goes, especially with adding storage, it's dirt-simple. It's so easy to do. I'm very impressed with that aspect of it.

Performance is very good but the bottleneck is the network. It is good to have 10gb links. 

Scalability-wise, it's hard to say because I haven't really added anything. 

The way we have this setup, scaling is difficult. We use three systems that are all synchronized and using MIMO iSCSI. Adding storage means adding it to all three, rather than just tossing another server at it. You can architect it differently, which would make scaling easier.

We plan to implement this solution on seventy servers in our branches. StarWind Virtual SAN allows you to do this quickly and it is not expensive.

Not applicable.
